Police say it was more than just teenagers growing marijuana in their backyards...
This was an entire drug ring, originating in South Florida... and spreading to our region.
Stephanie Price, Seth Shaffer, and Lionel Martinez were arrested and charged with growing pot and drug possession.
Two neighboring homes in Fort White were raided.
But officials say groups of people from South Florida are buying or renting homes all across the state... for the sole purpose of growing and selling marijuana.
The three suspects were booked in the Columbia County Jail on $35,000 bond.
